LATEST II. 4 o. KUMORS.
A Report That the Cincinnati, Iamil.
ton and Day ton III ~ Secured Control.
The people Of Baltimore are growing very un-
easy over the delay In getting definite informa-
t1On regarding the negotiations for the transfer to
new hands OF the control of the b. and O. railroad
In an interview yesterday Mayer Hodges talked
in a somewhat despondent tone over the outlook.
as he feared that the interests OF the city might
be sacrificed. The latest rumors are given as fol-
lows in New / ork dispatch to the Baltimore Sun:
'There Is still an absence OF any official declara-
tiOn in regard TO the b. and .. DEAL but IL was
way, and on authority said to be OF the best, but
which is not made public, that the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton syndicate have secured Mr..
GarrettS stock, and that $500, 900 have been paid
to bind the contract. Another statement from an
inside source was made to- night that the sale had
been consummated. and that neither SuIly nor
Gould in il. So far as the Cincinnati Hamilton
and Dayton Syndicate is concerned, il is known
that President StaynOr and Vice President Ives,
OF that road. were in Baltimore last Saturday in
conference with Baltimore and Ohio officials, and
that yesterday Vice President King and General
Counsel COwen. who We're in this city, were in
conference with Ives and Staynor at the offices of
their railroad company The inference tonight is
that il the IveS-Staynor party have secured the
stock. it is in connection with persons prominently
identified with the Richmond Terminal and that
the deal means combination OF the b. and o.
with the Richmond Terminal in the south and the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton in the west. IL
was the belief OF many to-day that c. p Hunting
ton is the principal member OF the Ives-Staynor
syndicate, but Mr. Huntington said tonight that
he had nothing TO do with the B. and O..
deal, and knew absolutely nothing about It..
Others said that Christopher Meyer is the
man behind Ives and Staynor. He could not
be found, but one Of his friends said that
Mr.. Meyer was offered a share in the syndicate,
but declined. He is director OF the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton, and is a 5th avenue million
aire. Mr.. Ives and MI. StaynOr declined to talk,
but said they might have something to say in day
or two. Mr.. Sully refused to talk. friend OF
Mackay, the bonanza king, said, in reference TO
the report that he had been drawn into the pur-
chasing syndicate. that MI. Sully had suggested
that he be telegraphed to in regard to the matter
but his friends declined to engage him in nego-
tiOn over 1900 miles OF wire. Mackay Is in san
Francisco"
An Associated Press dispatch from san Fran
cisco last night quoted Mr.. Mackay as saying that
no propositions for the requirement OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad or telegraph company
have been made by Or to him, and no negotiations
are pending.
DIR. NIcGlynm's ST. Patrick's Day Address
STILL PREACHING THE DOCTRINE OF THE LAND FOR THE
WHOLE PEOPLE.
DR.. McGlynn was greeted with tumutuOuS ap-
plause when he appeared at the picnic OF the Irish
societies at Jones' Wood in New York st. Patricks
day. 1t was his first public appearance since his
illness. In his speech he said the precious doc
trine that God had given the fair earth to all the
sons OF men, and that He had made or one breath
all mankind to stand equal IN the presence Of
their Maker was the possession OF one people OF
Ireland and they would place dependence upon no
man or set CT men that should endeavor to inter-
pose between them and the blessings that God had
given equally to all his children. The great QueS-
tiOn for the Irish people to-day was not so much
should they be free from foreign dictation as
should they be enslaved-the great masses OF the
people-by a privileged few, it mattered not
whether native or British. The great bane OF Ire
land was not so much foreign rule as landlordism,
as it mattered not a jot whether they were Eng
is whether
Saxon tongue. So while they shouted "HODle rule
for Ireland" let them not forget at the same time
to say ''the land for the Irish people"
BALTIMORE POLITICIANS EXERCISED OVER A YER
DICT.-Last fall Sheriff Fledderman, of Baltimore,
was presented to the grand jury on the charge
of having attempted to bribe John Z. Burgess,
cOlored, to vote the democratic ticket. Tie pre-
sentiment, however. was ignored, and Burgess was
indicted for perjury, in having sworn falsely be-
fore the grand jury, that the sheriff offered him
81 as bribe to vote the democratic ticket. The
trial Of Burgess ended Wednesday in verdict OF
not guilty. The verdict created a sensation in
political circles although after the rendition OF
the verdict three OF the jurors said that their ver
dict meant no reflection on Sheriff Fiedderman;
that they merely meant to say that there was
such doubt about BURGESS guilt as to require
them to find him not guilty.
